Whenever a thrilling new game hits the market, players are eager to jump in and experience it firsthand. However, occasionally, technical issues can hinder this excitement. If you're encountering audio problems in the hero shooter *FragPunk*, here's a comprehensive guide on how to resolve the issue and get back to enjoying the game.
What To Do If There Is No Sound in FragPunk
While console and PC players were thrilled to dive into Bad Guitar Studio’s latest multiplayer title, the PlayStation and Xbox versions faced a delay right at the PC launch. Though frustrating, PC players can still load the game and explore the various Lancers. Unfortunately, a significant number of gamers are experiencing a major issue: no audio during matches. In hero shooters like *FragPunk*, sound is crucial for understanding in-game events, making this problem particularly disruptive. Fortunately, the gaming community has been proactive in finding solutions.
On Reddit, user Even_Significance581 shared two effective methods to fix the audio issue, both involving adjustments in the settings. Let's explore these solutions:
How To Disable Exclusive Mode for FragPunk
- Right-click the speaker icon on your PC.
- Click "Sound Settings."
- Navigate to the "Advanced" section and click "More sound settings."
- Right-click on either the speaker or headphones.
- Click "Properties" and navigate to the "Advanced" section.
- Untoggle the “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device” setting and click "Apply," then "OK."
After completing these steps, relaunch *FragPunk* and check if the audio is restored. If the problem persists, there's another approach you can try.
How To Run FragPunk as Administrator
- Right-click on the *FragPunk* shortcut.
- Click on "Properties" and navigate to the "Compatibility" section.
- Select "Run as Administrator."
This method grants *FragPunk* full system access, which can help resolve audio issues. While it might sound intimidating, it's a common fix that can smooth out gameplay. If the audio problem continues, check the game's audio settings to ensure they are at default. This step helps determine if the issue is with the game itself or your PC's settings. If it's the former, the responsibility falls on Bad Guitar Studio to address it.
